🇬🇪 Against Georgia, first chance to book a World Cup spot | OneFootball

The Spanish national football team is facing its first major opportunity to secure qualification for the next World Cup. After a resounding 4-0 victory over Bulgaria, La Roja faces a decisive match in the November FIFA window: an away game against Georgia. The message from the coaching staff and players is clear: win the match to mathematically secure qualification and guarantee a ticket to the world’s biggest competition.

The match against Georgia is shaping up to be a final. Securing all three points there would free Spain from the pressure of reaching the last matchday without qualification in hand. The team’s preparation is focused on maintaining the intensity shown against Bulgaria and demonstrating their superiority as visitors—a key factor for a team with big ambitions at the World Cup.

A goal difference of +12... and a 'final' at La Cartuja

If Spain does not manage to win in Georgia, they will have one last shot at home. The end of the qualifying phase would be at the Estadio de la Cartuja in Seville against Turkey. Although this is the least desired scenario, it offers important reassurance for the Spanish team thanks to their statistics.

It is crucial to highlight that Spain holds a significant goal difference of +12 over the Turkish national team. This advantage in goal average is a vital tiebreaker. Should it come down to the last match, the support of the fans at La Cartuja, combined with this cushion in goal difference, represents a major advantage.

World Cup qualification is within reach. The Spanish team trusts in its potential to settle things in Georgia. Nevertheless, if the path becomes complicated, the +12 goal difference and the home advantage in Seville are two solid factors that ensure Spain’s World Cup dream is close to coming true.
